It includes a series of strange events, which allegedly happened while the homeowner was away and ends with the chilling warning: ‘Don’t look under the back deck (the noises will subside)’.

No-one knows if the housesitter had been smoking or taking an illegal drug. He certainly has a wonderful sense of imagination.

He writes that he hurt himself using the homeowner’s trampoline and how a neighbour came by to ask for soap — ‘do not trust’.

It gets even more weird when he writes that a bird came and perched itself on a fence and how he offered to play backgammon with it but could not find the board game. Later, the bird returns and asks him for soap.

He also said that their silverware tasted confusing so had run some tests on it.

The homeowner, as stated, saw the funny side of the note.

“I’m sure he was trolling us. He’s the kind of person I trust to watch over my house and my dogs while we’re out of town,” sosomething said on Reddit.

“I talked to him while we were driving home — he didn’t mention the note but it was totally normal. I think he just left it as a joke for us to find.”
